Through the geometric structure we realized, for example, that the eyes are located about halfway between the … [Read more...]

Repeating the monoprint with different colors we … [Read more...]

The style of Picasso portraits is unmistakable: the figures fall apart and are recomposed in his paintings, overturning all the canons and the proportions of the face in the style of Cubism. When students have copied the works of Picasso have not bothered to respect the proportions of the picture, but they have drawn freely, taking inspiration from the image. On a background in collage, prepared … [Read more...]
